Deep Zoom Walkthrough

I have been really impressed with how well received the Deep Zoom starters have been. They have covered topics such as Fiar Trade, Globalisation, Famine, Ghana and the Long Way Down Map.



Lots of you have been asking 'how do you do that?'



I have written a Deep Zoom Composer walkthrough file on how to create one. It is quite a big file and can be found on the link from the Healing School Geography Department.

Any problems just ask.

General stuff...

Year 11

An amazing free resource that I found by mistake. They are podcasts!! They are free to download so you can put them on your MP3 player and i-pods and then listen to them whereever you are. For example on your way to and from school - on the bus or walking home.

Link to the website.

Right-click on the relevant podcast and 'save target as'. It will then download as a MP3 file.

Year 10

I have created revsion pages for you to use and help you with your revision.

Make sure you use them.

The most important thing is to make sure you do some revision this week. Like Tesco every little helps. You can do this by actually attending the revision Thursday afterschool for an hour. We will cover any topic you want and any points of exam technique you feel you need to cover.

On Tuesday you perform your news reports on Sustainable Development and industry. On Thursday and next Tuesday you will look exam questions and techniques. A week on Thursday you will do your end of unit exam.

Year 9
On Tuesday you do your news reports on food miles. On Thursday you have a revision lesson on Globalisation and then the test on Tuesday next week. After that you shall look at Tourism.

Year 8
It is all about teaching yourselves Geography for the first lesson then looking at does money make you happy. Next Thursday you will have your end of year exam.
